20080236931HYDRAULIC STEERING SYSTEM - The invention provides a steering system e.g. for a vehicle. The system comprises a system-pump, a steering actuator, a rotary valve, a rotary meter, and a motor. The system-pump is arranged to provide a flow of a fluid to the steering actuator via the rotary valve and via the rotary meter, and the motor is arranged to provide rotation of the rotary valve and the rotary meter. To handle an emergency situation if the system-pump fails, the motor is dimensioned to operate the rotary meter as a fail-operational pump for pumping a flow of the fluid to the steering actuator if the system-pump fails.10-02-2008
20080236932ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM - The invention provides a method and a system for moving an element, e.g. a rudder of a ship or a wheel of a vehicle. The element is moved by a hydraulic fluid. According to the invention, an operator indicates a desired movement, and in accordance with the desired movement, at fluid is provided from at least three fluid providers each providing a share of the fluid in parallel streams and only considering the desired movement not the shares provided by the other fluid providers. The invention allows continuation of a steering task even if one fluid provider is disabled, and the invention allows the continuation even without having to notice that one provider is disabled. Accordingly, the invention provides an improvement and simplification relative to the known hydraulic steering systems. 10-02-2008
20090048736STEER BY WIRE CONTROL SYSTEM - The invention provides a steering system for a vehicle, a ship etc. The steering system has a steering handle for the operator of the vehicle, a set of signal processors, a sensor which determines a position of the steered element of the vehicle, and a controller which moves the steered element. The steered element could e.g. be the front wheels of a car. The signal processors are adapted to determine an error between the desired position of the steered element and an actual position of the steered element. In order to make the steering system more fault tolerant, the error signal is amplified based on the speed by which the steering handle is moved, and an error in the sensor therefore becomes less critical. The invention further provides a steering method, a steering control unit and a vehicle provided with a steering system of the mentioned kind.02-19-2009

20090032458Biogas Producing Facility With Anaerobic Hydrolysis - The present invention relates to a method and a facility for conversion of organic waste into biogas, i.e. a methane containing gas, with an improved efficiency and economy. The method comprises three consecutive steps of: i) digestion of the organic waste in a first reactor; ii) hydrolysis of the digested organic waste in an anaerobic hydrolysis tank; and iii) digestion of the hydrolyzed organic waste in a second reactor; wherein evolved gases are removed from the anaerobic hydrolysis tank. The biogas producing facility comprises a first reactor for holding organic waste for production of biogas by digestion and having an output for digested waste, and an anaerobic tank that is connected to the reactor output for anaerobic hydrolysis of the digested waste and having an output for hydrolysed material that is connected to an input of a second reactor for adding hydrolysed material to the content of the reactor and wherein a gas is passed through the headspace of the anaerobic hydrolysis tank for removal of gases from the digested waste. The anaerobic hydrolysis process and the evaporation and wash out of gases from the hydrolysis tank makes the energy content of material that has not been digested in the reactor easier and immediate available for bacterial digestion and the evaporation and wash out of gases in the hydrolysis tank further reduce inhibition of the bacteria and enhance the biogas production velocity and thus, the hydrolysed material is fed back into a reactor for further bacterial conversion into biogas. Furthermore, the gas that has been passed through the headspace of the anaerobic hydrolysis tank may be cooled in a heat exchanger so that the condensable gases of the gases removed from the anaerobic hydrolysis tank content condense, the condensed water containing the removed gases.02-05-2009
